Born Pretty Holo Polish Swatch & Review

One is a sheer colorless linear holographic. The formula was smooth and easy to apply. This one is very sheer, and still showed a VNL after three coats - but I actually liked the look even with the VNL. This one will make a great holo top coat! The linear strength is really great as well!!

Four is a coral linear holographic. The formula was smooth and easy to apply. This one was also much more opaque. I absolutely adore this shade! I have been hunting for a great coral holo, and now the search is over!!

Five is a burnt orange linear holographic. The formula was thick, I'm talkin' triple thick milkshake thick, and difficult to apply. I actually had a good bit of trouble getting the polish to drag all the way to the nail edge. This shade is also much more of a creme base than the previous shades. I was really looking forward to wearing this one, since this is definitely my first burnt orange holo. I love the color, but the formula needs some work.

Six is a nude linear holographic, with a slight copper undertone. The formula was smooth and easy to work with. This one is a bit on the sheer side so I still had a very slight VNL in certain lighting. I really like this one a lot! I'm crazy about nude holos, and the touch of copper really gives it a little pop!

Seven is a faded moss green linear holographic. The formula was smooth and easy to apply. This shade was also fairly sheer, leaving a VNL after three coats. This is another shade that would make a great holo top coat!

Nine is light purple linear holographic. The formula was smooth and easy to work with. This is another shade that is more on the opaque side. I really love this shade! It leans toward lilac, but still packs a bit of a punch!

Ten is a bright blue linear holographic, with a teal undertone. The formula was smooth and easy to apply. As you can probably tell from the slight VNL, this one is a bit sheer. This shade is also reallllllllllly close to Eight. I honestly thought they were dead on dupes until I wore them both and noticed the hint of teal in this one. So, if push came to shove, I wouldn't say that you'd definitely need both shades.

Twelve is a deep green holographic, with a teal undertone. The formula was smooth and easy to apply. This was definitely another fast favorite. It reminded me of Glitter Gal Lizard Belly, but this one is much brighter.

These are some of the prettiest holos I have ever seen - and the prices are incredible! I am in love with #10, #11 and #12. Thanks to you, I just made my first Born Pretty Store purchase :-) Can't wait to get them!
